"Why are there always people who want to rebel?"

The one who made this sigh in the East Lake Palace was Zhu Cihong, who has been a saint for 20 years!

learned that there were people in Jingzhou, Chengtian, De'an, and Xiangyang who colluded with the Liukou to rebel, and Zhu Cihong, the son of the Holy Tomorrow, was also very helpless!

Under his governance, the Ming Dynasty can be said to be rich and prosperous, and the land area is even more distant than the Han and Tang Dynasties! can be called an empire on which the sun never sets.

The sun never sets, how can there still be people who want to rebel? Don't they look at the world map? Aren't you proud of the empire on which the sun never sets?

"Your Majesty, don't worry, now our dynasty is at its peak in national power, and it is rare in ancient times. The 20,000,000 people are also well-fed, clowns, arrogant thieves, and they can't hurt the overall situation at all. "The truth is the first assistant Wei Zaode, looking at his confident expression, you know that what you say is the truth.

Zhu Cihong nodded approvingly. The Ming Dynasty is so good, you are still rebelling, you are a clown, you are an arrogant thief!

"Your Majesty," said Li Yanshang, the secretary of the Ministry of War, "Since the founding of this dynasty, there have been endless civil uprisings in various places, accumulating as many as thousands, and there have been many when the emperor was in power in all dynasties. In contrast, it is still the most peaceful and happy world ruled by His Majesty, since the first year of Hongxing, not counting the land occupied by Liukou and Dongyu, the total number of civil rebellions is less than 100 times, counting this time, there are only 96 times in total......"

Only 96 times?

Zhu Cihong rolled his eyelids, rebellion! Is 96 rebellions rare? I've only been an emperor for 20 years! There were 96 rebellions...... How can there be so many people in the world?

"96 times?" Zhu Cihong's face darkened, "Why don't I remember?" ”

Li Yan said with a smile: "Most of the rebellions were in the early years of Hongxing, and the scale was not large, and they were swirling and extinguishing...... Your Majesty has a lot of opportunities, and you may have forgotten it. ”

Emperor Zhu had already remembered something at this time, nodded and said, "I remember, it is mainly the chaos caused by slavery and high food prices...... Ten years after Hongxing, few people rebelled. ”

In the early days of Zhu Cihong's reign, the situation was still very chaotic. Even in the core of his rule, Jiangnan and Jiangbei, there were dozens of popular uprisings. And the reason for these popular uprisings is the slavery caused by the abolition of slavery! The second is the rebellion of the hungry people caused by the lack of food!

The abolition of slavery and the shortage of food are often entangled...... In fact, the abolition of slavery was not because Zhu Cihong wanted to protect human rights, but because the gentry in the southeast were unable to keep slaves after losing their privileges, so they had to abolish slaves in large numbers, which caused many conflicts in the process. In order to maintain stability in the southeast, Zhu Cihong simply issued the "Abolition Edict", which can be regarded as conforming to public opinion.

However, while abolishing slavery, Emperor Zhu resolutely defended the private property of the slave-owning gentry and landlord class (he was not Li Zicheng, he wanted to develop capitalism, so he could not fail to defend private property), did not allow slaves who had obtained personal freedom to possess the means of production of the original owners, and was unwilling to distribute the government-owned means of production to these liberated slaves.

As a result, many freed slaves fell into starvation and cold......

However, ten years after Hongxing, with the further development of industry and commerce in the southeast, the development of Jinou and Jinghai, and the success of Huanghuaiyun's governance, the provincial jurisdiction of Daming was relatively calm, but there were still rebellions every year! It was not until the past few years, because the development of the Central Plains in the north, the northeast and the United States of New Continent on the other side of the ocean were on track, which gave the poor people in the Ming Dynasty more ways out, and also led to the further development of industry and commerce in the southeast, so that the Ming society was truly stable.

"Your Majesty," Ma Shiying, the secretary of the Criminal Department, also said, "Although there are Diao people rebelling in Jingzhou, Chengtian, De'an, and Xiangyang, there are also many righteous people who report the anti-thief conspiracy to the government. During the first month alone, 11 cases of conspiracy to rebel were reported, six of which had already been closed and five were being used to catch big fish. ”

"How many thieves have you caught?" Zhu Cihong asked.

Ma Shiying replied: "At present, there are a total of 286 thieves who are in custody awaiting trial, and another 18 gangsters are also detained in the prison of the Criminal Department and the Judge Advocate General's Chamber. ”

Now there is no Jinyi Guard prison system, there are only three prison systems: the cell of the head of the Criminal Department, the cell of the Military Justice Department of the Ministry of War, and the Taiwan Prison of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Jinyiwei is under the jurisdiction of the military division, so the suspects captured by them are sent to the military prison of the military department. Dongchang nominally belonged to the Cabinet Office, and the captured thieves were sent to the prison of the Criminal Department. The Metropolitan Procuratorate is mainly for arresting corrupt officials, and the punishment is not as good as the doctor, and it always has to be treated preferentially, so it is sent to the prison of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, also known as the Yushitai Prison.

"How many more can you catch?" Zhu Cihong asked again.

"Between three or four thousand!" The answer to this question was Zhu Chunjie, the commander of the Jinyi Guard.

"So much?" Zhu Cihong was taken aback, "It won't cause too much chaos, right?" ”

"No," Zhu Chunjie said, "There are two righteous people in Yiling Prefecture who not only reported the conspiracy of the anti-thieves to the government, but also sent people to break into the anti-thieves, and learned that the anti-thieves are going to make a big move on the second day of the second month of February, and the location is in Huya Mountain!" At present, the anti-thieves in Jingzhou, Chengtian, De'an, and Xiangyang have not yet been arrested, and they are all concentrating on Huya Mountain. It is said that when the time comes, there will be a big thief who will come to Huya Mountain to preside over the rebellion!

The ministers are ready to wait for this big thief to arrive, and then catch them all! ”

"That's great!" Zhu Cihong nodded, "What are these two righteous people called?" ”

"One is called Ding Shixiang, and the other is Zhang Haoran."

It's Ding Papi and Zhang Drunkard!

"Good!" Zhu Cihong said, "Tell them that if it is done, they will all be rewarded!" ”

"Commandment."

......

"It's the other way around! It's the other way around! It's all fucking reversed......"

The one who roared was like today's number one rebel, Dashun "Dongxing Son of Heaven" Li Laiheng.

Li Laiheng was in the imperial study in Wuhua Mountain in Kunming at this time, and he did not sit behind the bookcase, but walked around in the study, looking a little angry and uneasy.

And what made him angry was the peasant uprising that happened in Dajian Mountain!

Of course, there was no rebellion under the rule of Dashun, but unlike most of the poor peasants who rebelled on the side of Dashun, it was usually Tusi who rebelled here in Dashun - Dashun's territory was in the southwest where Tusi was everywhere, and of course it could not tolerate the existence of many Tusi regimes like Daming.

Therefore, since the time when Dashun ruled Sichuan and Yunnan, this peasant regime has become the sworn enemy of the southwest Tusi! In the past 20 years, the competition between the two sides can be described as life and death!

However, the peasants under the rule of Dashun have always been relatively peaceful, even if they were "all lost fields", they did not launch a single uprising - the reason why this is the case is actually related to the military system of Dashun, 600,000 military households are divided into towns and towns, and the ability to suppress them is not doubtful. So under the Ming Dynasty, there have been 96 uprisings in the last 20 years. And under the rule of Da Shun, if you don't count the war with the Southwest Tusi, the Dajianshan Uprising that just happened is the first large-scale peasant uprising!

Although most of this uprising was launched by the demons of the White Lotus Sect, it was a peasant uprising after all!

The emperor was angry...... The King of Jin, the King of Sui and the King of Chu have already dispatched troops and horses to Dajian Mountain to encircle and suppress, and I believe that it will not take long to wipe out this group of demons! ”

"The emperor can rest assured, these demons and chaotic people are not to be feared...... It's not my opponent at all! And you just take this opportunity to sweep away the small snacks all over the place! ”

It was Liu Wenxiu and Liu Fangliang who spoke. Now among the eight kings of the government, only Sun Kewang, Liu Zongmin, Liu Wenxiu, and Liu Fangliang remain in Kunming, and the other four kings are outside to supervise the army.

And Liu Wenxiu and Liu Fangliang were the kings in charge of the military affairs of the Shun Dynasty, so they reported to Li Laiheng about the Dajianshan uprising.

"But the big war over there in Shaanxi is coming!" Li Laiheng gritted his teeth, "Dajian Mountain is stuck in the throat of the Sword Pavilion again......"

Liu Wenxiu said with a smile: "Don't worry, the emperor is in a hurry, the king of Jin already has a clever plan, just to take advantage of the chaos of Dajian Mountain to earn Wu Sangui into the urn!" ”
